Power-Con*, the first annual MOTU and POP fan convention in the US, is coming!
Tentatively scheduled for fall of this year, Power-Con is working with He-Man.org to help provide the best fan experience possible.

Power-Con wants to know what you'd like to see at a MOTU and POP fan convention!
Please post your feedback in this thread.

We'll be posting more information as it develops!

*This convention is not sponsored by, or affiliated with Mattel, Inc. or Classic Media, Inc.

----------UPDATE 1:

As far as location, I can tell you now it will most likely be NY or CA. Those states have the highest concentration of fans who visit this site, as well as the highest concentration of talent involved in MOTU and POP both past and present, so please don't suggest locations. Any posts doing so will be edited or deleted.
I'll let you know when I hear more and can post the info.

As far as exclusives, I wouldn't count on any toy exclusives.
Though nothing is being ruled out as this stage.
Just know that this is a fan convention, that will no doubt start out modest in size, with a focus on fans, special guests and vendors,
just like with other fan conventions in the past (Bot-Con, My Little Pony Fair, Jem Con, etc)

Please suggest things you'd like to see at the con itself. That's what the Power-Con team would love to hear about. Thanks!

Power-Con will take place Saturday, September 24th and Sunday, September 25th at the Four Points at the Los Angeles Intl Airport! You can fly directly into LAX, jump on the free hotel shuttle and be there in no time!

Show hours are from 10am to 6pm on Saturday followed by a limited attendance dinner (details coming soon) and then an after-hours mixer open to everyone
and from 10am to 5pm on Sunday.

It will have advanced and onsite order info for attendees and exhibitors,
our first guest announcements,
discounted hotel reservation info (so don't call in your reservations yet!),
and many more details.
So please spread the word to fans you know!

We know so many fans are going to love Power-Con. It's going to be packed with programming and have an amazing guest list.

Stay tuned for more info and make sure you are there. You won't want to miss out!"

Now this might make up for me missing out on SDCC tickets, looks like my US road trip might happen this year after all.

In terms of what I'd like to see, would be great if the 4HM could be there and bring the 200x 2ups like they recently did at Toypocalypse.
I know a exclusive figure or comic is probably out of the question but how about an t-shirt and exclusive poster by Emiliano?

I vote for Buffalo, NY. Everyone can go see Niagara Falls, it's close to Canada (two hours from Toronto) so it can be a North American con instead of a "US" con, and Mattel has a presence here (Fisher Price is located in its suburbs), so maybe if you held a con here they'd be more likely to step in and do something for it.

Just a thought. Also I live here. :-D Rooting for the home town like everyone.

I'm gonna use my massive powers of thought and reasoning and guess that it's going to be somewhere near where Val lives (Kentucky) since I'll be he's going to be doing the lion's share of the prep and planning.

Oh how I wish this would be somwhere in MO, AR, OK, or TX though so I could find a way to go.

Since the question has been officially asked "what I'd like to so in a MOTU & POP fan convention, I will officially answer...

I'd like for the con to be closer to where I live so that I could attend.

Oh yeah! Bring it home to the "Dirty South" I'd have said Atlanta but that was before attending Atlanta Wizard-Con back in December. Not as big of a turn out as I would have thought. Never been to Dragon*Con so I'm not sure of the turn out then.
